Workshop in Applied Earth Systems Manage

Earth Systems Management

This intensive summer workshop is the first in a three-part sequence designed to provide MPA-ESP students with practical experience in interdisciplinary environmental problem-solving. Students work in faculty-advised teams to develop a management strategy for implementing an environmental statute or international agreement not yet in effect. Emphasis is placed on translating scientific understanding into actionable policy and operational plans. The summer term focuses on the scientific basis of the policy challenge, enabling students to communicate complex environmental science to non-scientific stakeholders and decision-makers.

Students assume defined project roles, such as project managers, deputy managers, and task leaders—and are responsible for producing a series of group outputs, including a legislative summary, scientific analysis of the environmental problem, evaluation of the proposed solution, and measurement indicators of program success. Faculty assign projects and roles, guide group management, and evaluate individual and team performance. A strong focus is placed on professional skill-building, collaborative writing, memo and report development, and oral briefings. Students are expected to attend all sessions, meet frequent deadlines, and engage fully in team-based work under real-world conditions.

This workshop is a required core course for MPA-ESP students, preparing them for the Fall Workshop in Applied Earth Systems Management II and the Spring Workshop in Applied Earth Systems Policy Analysis.

Capstone Critical Thinking and Analysis

Capstone for EHSC MS Tox

This is the culminating (Capstone) experience for EHS MS Toxicology students. The course is meant to satisfy both the Capstone and APEx requirements. The course is designed for students to develop skills in project management, teamwork, leadership, organization, data presentation, effective stakeholder communication and analyzing primary data. The format of this
online
course is that a small group of students (2-3) will work with an assigned organization on a project typically aimed at solving an environmental problem that their organization has identified as a concern. Then the group will work to provide a background, draw conclusions and make recommendations to their organization in the form of a final report. A major requirement of the project is data collection and analysis. Each student will individually collect and analyze one portion of the data that is either provided by the organization or that they will gather from available sources. That analysis will be submitted by each student, that will include an outline of their methods and results. This will then serve to fulfill their practicum requirement. The data and analysis will be incorporated in the group project that will be part of the final report and presentation. The final report will include a Background, Methods, Results, Discussion, Recommendations and Executive Summary. This project is aimed at allowing each student to demonstrate their ability to synthesize foundational public health and EHS-specific departmental competencies (Appendix at end of document).

The final product will be an integration of the
individual efforts
of each student. Working with the instructors, each member of the group will be responsible for a specific part of the project. The instructors will work with each student to identify the appropriate foundational and department-specific competencies for their project portion. Each group will work on this semester-long project, which is meant to be a collaboration between an organization and a team of students. Throughout the project, organizations will receive high-quality output from the students focused on their project. The projects also serve to expand student’s professional networks by connecting future and current environmental leaders. Each group will be responsible for fulfilling the expectations of their organization in the form of a written report as outlined above. The group will prepare a formal presentation for their organization and provide an individual written document demonstratin

Master's Essay Research I

MASTERS ESSAY RESEARCH I

The Master's Thesis is one of the options for a capstone requirement of all students in all tracks of the MPH program of the Department of Environmental Health Sciences (EHS). The thesis is intended to reflect the training you have received in the MPH program and demonstrate your ability to design, analyze, research and present scholarly writing relevant to your major field of interest.
Writing the thesis is an essential experience that could further your career development and or an application for further studies in academia. Employers seek in potential employees with a MPH degree the ability to write articles and reports, and want to see evidence that you can design studies, analyze data, and write scientific papers. If you plan to continue your academic studies, developing expertise and demonstrating your ability as a writer are two important skills required of doctoral candidates. A well-written paper is a great asset that you can bring with you to a job interview or include in an application for further study. The thesis ought to demonstrate your ability to think clearly and convey your thoughts effectively and thereby provide an example of your understanding and insight into a substantive area in which you have developed expertise.

Master's Essay in Epidemiology I

MASTER'S ESSAY IN EPI I

All candidates for the M.P.H. and the M.S. degrees in epidemiology are required to write a master's thesis, usually based on an original analysis of previously collected epidemiologically relevant data. Students are responsible, with assistance from faculty, for finding a dataset and two readers, one of whom must be a faculty member in the Department of Epidemiology. Students register for P9419 at least two semesters before the targeted graduation date and it is required that students obtain access to a dataset they will use for their thesis prior to the course. The course guides students through development of the master’s thesis proposal by reviewing critical elements in writing each element of a thesis, development of a study question, writing specific aims, study design and analysis.

Adv Health Data Science: Analytics, Arti

ADV HLTH DATA SCIENCE

The course is intended to provide a hands‐on introduction to delivering data visualizations to serve as a critical lens through which individual and population level health can be examined. The course will combine concepts and theory in data visualization and exploration and practice to prepare the learner to begin using graphics and statistics to explore data, find and construct a narrative, and share findings in ways colleagues and decision-makers can readily understand and act upon. Topics may include: (a) principles of human perception and attention that inform visualization design; (b) The use of visualization to explore data and discover a narrative; (c) the use of visualization to communicate effectively with others; 4) the development of practical skills, including preparing datasets and applying programing language to analyze data and produce visualizations. 

Interaction with practitioners/guest speakers is an integral part of this course as a way for students to understand real data and information challenges. Concept lectures and case studies concentrate on learning to scope and manage complex data science projects. Lab work will focus on gaining competency with data science/visualization tools and techniques (e.g., Jupyter Notebook, R programming language) applied to an integrated health-relevant data set.
